A WHOLESALE Results From Head-End Passengei 42 DEAD AND 120 BADLY INJURED ' Terrible Loss of Life on the Heavy Eastbound Train Due to the Fact that the Second Coach Ploughed In to the Bank and Other Cars were Jammed into it by the Heavy Pullmans. tt) Knoxville. Tonti., Special.? Running an a roadbed in a supposedly high condition ?r maititenaiico and having about iheni every safeguard known to modern railroading, two trains uit me Southern railway carrying heavy lists of passengers, rame together in a frightful headend collision near Hodges, Tonn., Saturday, sending ??2 people to death and iujur'.ng 120, several of whom will probably Jie. This appalling loss of life and maiming of the living resulted, apparently, from the disregarding of orders given to the two trains lo meet at a station which has for a long time loon their regular meeting point. The l laim of failure to seo either the station ?r signals cannot be set up by the engineer of 111 ?westbound train were he alive to enter plea of defense, as the accident happened in broad daylight, and according to the best information obtainable, he had the orders in a little frame in front of miih iu:? muiiMiT or iron ami stool rustier by Now Market and soon -after came upon an castbound passenger train No. 12, making for New Market In compliance with Instructions to meet the westbound train which carried the sleepers from the East for Knoxrillo, Chattanooga and other Southern ciU?s. CACSE OF THE WRECK. * The possibility exists that the ?11fated engineer may have been asleep or that death had suddenly taken the sight from his eyes before New , Market was reached. Hut nothing is known save that the ordt rs were not obeyed. The trains were on time and not making more than ">."> miles an lionr. yet the impact as they rounded a ?hir?e ai d eanie suddenly upon each n.her was frightful. Both engine; , and the major portions of both trains | won demolished, and why the orders wrip disregarded ur misinterpreted' prohald) will never he known, as the Higinoe a of tlx two Irains were (rushed, then bodies remaining for hours under I no wreckage of the monster locomotives. which, hnt. a short time before, had leaped forward at the touch of their strong hands upon I lie throt'le. Some of the bodies have not been r? ?overed, and many remain unident i 1 fled. | COltltECTKP I>KATil LIST. The coiiipleti and corrected list ol , dead as a res-*" of Saturday's wrec.lt.

He Declares that He Will Do so and Urge a Lawful Equivalent. The letter of acceptance of Judge Parker has been given out, and is iu substance as follows: To the Honorable Champ Clark and Others. ( ommittee. Etc., Gentlemen: In my response to your committee, at the formal notification proceedings, I referred to some matters not in in tioned in this letter. I desire tiiat these bo considered as incorporated herein, and regret that lack of space prevents specific reference to them all. i wish ?*> ?t, again u> ri'ii'i to my views there expressed as to the gold standard, to declare again my tin quail tied belief in said standard, and to express my appreciation of the action of the convention in reply to my comuuication upon that subject. Grave public questions are pressing for decision. The Democratic parly appeals to the people with confldenci that its position on these questions will bo acc? pted and endorsed at tbe polls. While the issues involved are numerous, some stand forth pre-eminI put in the public mind. Amo ; these jure: Tariff reform, imperialism, ecunoj mical administration and hoqesty !u tin* public service. 1 shall briefly, cotij aider these and some others within the necessarily nrescrihoil limits of this letter. IMPERIALISM. While I presented my views ut the notification proceedings concerning this vital issue the overshadowing im portnnee of this question impels me | to refer to it again. The issue is oftenlitues referred to as Constitutional vs. imperialism. 11' wo would retain our liberties and constitutional rights unimpaired, we cannot permit or tolerate, at any time .ir for any purpose, the arrogatiou of unconstitutional powers by the executive branch c.f our government. We should he ever mindful of the words i of Webster, "'Liberty is only to be pre j served by maintaining constitutional 'restraints and a just view of political powers." Already the national governnu-i t has become centralized beyond any >oint ; contemplated or imagined by the I founders of the constitution. How tie. mondously all this has added to the power of tlie President! It lias d J Vcloped ft' in year to year until i: al most equals that of many monari lis While the growth of our country and tile mnenitlldo of inter Stntn inlori'wii I i may seem to furnish a plausible reason j fur this centralization of power, yet rheso same facts afford the most po'lent, reason why the Executive s1il.1I not lie permitted to encroach upon the other Departments of the government, and assume legislative, or other powrs, not expressly conferred by the eon! stitution. The magnitude of the country and it* diversity of interests and population enable a determined, ambitious ami able Executive, unmindful iff constitutional limitations and fired with tin: lust of power, to go far in the usnr pat ion of authority and the aggamlize j ment of personal power before the site ; ation could he fully appreciated n the people be aroused. The issue of imperialism which ha> ; been thrust upon the country involve) i ja decision whether tno law of tin i land or the rule of individual < apriet | j shall govern. The principle of impor i | lalism may give rise to hrilliant. si a it i j ling, dashing results, hut the princi < I pie of Democracy holds in cheek the i } brilliant Executive and subjects hiir, | I to ihe sober, conservative control nl i | the pooplo. i ! I The people of tli?- United State? i stand at the parting of the ways. Shal. \\e follow the footsteps of our father? along the paths of peace, prosperity and contentment, guided by the ever living spirit of the constitution whir l they framej lor us. or shall We ?C along other and untried paths, hither t< shunned by all. following blinhlj new ideals, which, though appealing with brilliancy to the imagination an! ambition, may prove a will o* tin- wisp leading us into difficulties from whir l It may be impossible to extricate our selves without lasting injury to out national character and constitutions? THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS Tariff reform is one of the cardinu j principles of the Itemocratie /a|ith i * and the necessity' for it was novel .' greater than at the present time, it ' should he undertaken at once in tin ' interest of all out people. The Oingioy tariff is excessive i nany of its rates, ami. as to them at t ast, iinjus.ly and oppressively bur t >ns the people. It secures to domes manufacturers, singly or in conibi ion, the privilege of exacting ex cflssive prices at home and prices fat j aboV* the level of sales made regular ly by them abroad with profit, thut , giving .a bounty to foreigners at the expense of our own people, its tin ^ Just taxation burdens the people geu ^ orally, forcing theni to pay excessive ( prices for food, fuel, clothing and othei , necessaries of life. It levies duties or % many articles not. normally imported , ii. any considerable amount, which art mad^ extensively at homo, for whU.'t r tlie most extreme protectionist would hardly justify protwiive taxes. am which in large amounts are export* i < Such duties have been and will con tinue t?? be direct incentive to the for mation of huge industrial couibina Uouk. which secure from foreign com petition, are enabled to stifle dome ti < competition and practically to monop. liee hotne market. i TRUST REMBOIRS. I pointed out in my earlier rosponst the remedy, which in my judgment can effectually be applied against nio nopolies. and the assurance was titer civ mi tbat it existing, la incjtuiuw lK?th statute and common law. proved inadequate, contrary to my expecta i lions, 1 raver such further legislation j within constitutional limitations. at i ?I1! best promote ami safeguard i li* ( interest of all the people. ; Whether there is any common law which can he applied and enforced l?> the Federal Courts, cannot he deter mined l>y the President, or by a cundi date for the president:} . . KKClPItOCY. in 111 \ address to the notitieatittt committee 1 said that tariff reform "is demanded l?y the heat interests of hot! nianufat turor and consumer." Witt equal truth it ran he said that tlx benefits of reciprocal trade treatte; tvould entire to both. That the eon puner would be helped is uuqestion able. That the manufaeturer would teceive great benefit by extending his markets abroad hardly needs demonstration. His productive capacity lias tut grown the liome market. The very I nil "home market" has changed in ita Significance. Once, from the manufacturers' point of view, it meant expansion; today the marvelous growth of Mir manufacturing industries lias far t-xceodcd the consumptive capacity of Mir domestic markets, and the term ( "bottle market" implies contraction rather than expansion. If we would tint our mills to their full capacity, th11 giving steany employment to our i i\or! : en ami securing to litem and to Ihe uianufai Hirer the profits accruing i: <'in inert ;i cil product i?in. other niai k- < it: must lie tnutni. Furthermore, when our mumu'ui turers are dependrni i u raw mmerinl.s in whole or part in.| orted. it is vital to tin extension ' ;>i their market. aliroail tluit they se- ] re.re their materials on the uiost fav;>rnhl< terms. The P ' isten' refusal ot the R< pub- 1 liean tnajoi ity in tin- Federal Senate* | lo ratify tin- reciprocity treaties negotiate,j within the pre < riheii limitation of two years, in pursuance of th? policy advocated alike by Mr. Mlainw and Mr. McKinley. ami expressly sanctioned in the Dlngley act itself, is a discouraiti.iK exhihition ot bad faith. As already nientionc I liy me. the exorbitant dutv imposed on many an imported article by tiie ltinftloy tariff was avowedly intended by its author ' not to l?e permanent, but to serve tent- i porarfiy as a maximum, front which the l'\ deral government was empowered to offer a reduction, in return for an ' equivalent concession on the part of a | foreign country. Pre ideitt MeKinley || iiiuvi nn>n imiii'fiuy in carry out I til' purpose of the act. \ number of re iriprocity agreements wot negotiated < which, if ratified. would luive had ttu> | twofold re.u.lt of cheapening many imported products for American con sinners, and of opening and enlarging : vnvigii markets to American produc- ( 21 s. No of those agreement: tins , mi t with e approval i f tin Republican inavier. of the S n ite. Indeed they ilid not even permit tneir eonsid- ' nation. In view of the attitude of the 1 present Mxoeutivo no new agreement iituli r the general treaty powers need bo expected f'otn iiim. Nor does the Republican platform contain a favorublo reference to one of the suspend E'<1 treatlc-s. Tills section of the Dine le> act stands forth as a monument ' jf legislative cozenage and politieal ' bad faith. I INDEPENDENCE DOR TUB KIUI' ( P1NOS. \ In some quarters it has tiecn ass-uin i ?d t)iat in the discusion of the Philip [line question in my response, the lilirase "'self-government." was intend d to mean something less than inde- j tiendenee.
